Gozyuger Theory Time.

I think Bouquet might actually be Sumino's long-lost sister, Ota. And episode 5 of Gozyuger only solidified my theory.

To begin with, Bouquet looks and behaves really young. If Sumino was in high school 8 years ago, then she’s about 24/25 now. And Oto looked near 10ish in the photo and the flashback. So, Bouquet, being 17/18 years old, would actually explain a lot about how petulant she is.

Finally, the episode places a lot of emphasis on the headband Oto used to wear, which looks eerily similar to what Bouquet uses on her head. I don't think it's a coincidence that they're the same color, either.

I have more to say on this. But I'll wait until we're further into the season.

OneLog! Vol.1 (Fuyuno Mio)

-The Director's words to "capture the nature of my role" is what I cherish as I face Hoeru-

Everyone, it's nice to meet you! I'm Fuyuno Mio, I'm 21 years old and play the role of GozyuWolf and Tono Hoeru. For me, tokusatsu shows have been something I've admired since I was a child. "Engage!," the transformation yell for this work, is compact, yet so intense and cool, that I remember how excited I was when I first said it during filming.

As Hoeru's name suggests, there are many scenes where he howls, "Awoooooo!" In the beginning, my voice would sometimes give out as I wouldn't be able to hold it, but the more times I did it, the more people around me started to say, "Your voice is improving." I feel like my throat is getting stronger, and most importantly, I become more fired up when I howl.

I do my best with daily filming, but when I become anxious and wonder, "Is this scene gonna be okay?," Masa-kun always says, "Don't worry!" Masa-kun's been looking out for me since the script reading stage, and even gave me words of encouragement at that time. Masa-kun has really saved me, and I'm incredibly grateful to him. Also, while I was taking notes during the reading, Director Tasaki casually wrote the words "capture the nature of your role" in my notebook. Since then, I've come to cherish those words as I face the role of Hoeru.

Future episodes will feature Hoeru's past, so I hope that you'll pay attention to how Hoeru got to be where he is today. The whole year will be like a festival, with developments rapidly unfolding. Things are going to get more and more exciting from now on, so please make sure to look forward to it!

Q: In relation to Number One Sentai, what are you most into these days?

A: Lately I've been into baseball. I thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if I played baseball?" (laughs). I've been swinging a bat at a batting cage to get better at it, but I can't seem to hit the ball very well. I'm still working hard on it, so I'd be happy if I could show off my skills within the show someday.

Number One Shot!: This is the cutout used during the opening credits! We had a fun time filming with the life size cutouts of the five cast members! Shocking stuff has been happening since episode 1, but there'll be more exciting developments in the future, so please make sure to look forward to them. _

GavvPare! Vol.14 (Shoji Kohei)

-Using the phrase "I'm tired" in a natural way-

Since he started working part time at Hapipare, Lakia's state of mind has gradually changed. With Lakia originally working in the Granute world, I thought he wouldn't be that opposed to communicating with the people around him. I think he's able to talk normally with Sachika and the others in the human world simply because he just thinks that the people he's talking to are different. To better illustrate what I'm saying, the feeling is similar to experiencing culture shock when interacting with another Japanese person versus a Westerner, as the flow of the conversation and reactions you'd get are different. In that sense, my reactions to scenes such as eating ice cream and pudding or working part time aren't over the top, but are more nuanced like, "This isn't quite what I imagined."

I've always been conscious of not overdoing the "I'm tired" line, as there are times when I say "I'm tired" when he's in a positive state of mind, as if to say, "Alright, let's do this," but in other cases, I say it because he's too lazy and doesn't want to do something. However, I think that if I give each and every one of them meaning, the viewers will also stop and think "I wonder if there was any meaning to that just now," so I try to say it naturally and without it sounding forced as much as possible. Having said all this, I myself haven't developed a habit of saying it, but I was once teased when I casually said "I'm tired" while talking with a friend (laughs). It was pretty embarrassing, so I've been saying it less often (laughs).

Suga begins to make some major movements starting from episode 27. Through the incident with Koji-kun, Lakia's attitude toward humans has become softer, and while he's adjusting to the human world, he once again thinks about his reasons for fighting. Also, I hope you'll look forward to seeing if he'll be able to open up to Hanto, who he's still very much at odds with.

Q: When you hear "Spring," what comes to mind?

A: It's flowers. I started writing haikus last year, which led me to become more conscious of what catches my eye, but I think I'm now able to enjoy scenery on its own more than I did before. Cherry blossom season is approaching, so it'd be nice to go to a park with friends and enjoy the cherry blossoms and greenery together while drinking sake.

Off Shot: A picture taken during the infiltration of the dark sweets factory. Now that I think about it, my black costume in combination with the belt is a rare sight. Lakia's outfit will occasionally change from now on, so make sure to look forward to that too. It's already Spring!!!

One page about Eiyu Club film "Ausencia Memoria" from HEROINE magazine Volume 2 (2004). The film is the sequel to "Evaroid Seria". This edition focused on independent heroine tokusatsu production companies such as Eiyu Club, Center Island, and more.

English translation below the cut:

[White text on large image of Sharan and Shion on right]

The ultimate androids are here!

[Red text below large image, with smaller black text below]

Ausencia Memoria

"Ausencia Memoria" was created, set in the world of "[Evaroid] Seria". Many people have become fans of the series due to its stunning design and exquisite drama.

[Text below middle-top image of red and white Evaroid “Shion”]

Shion 

[Text with red design behind it] Indie Heroine Special! 

A female android with high defensive capabilities who was prototyped by Dr. Izumi during the development of Evaroids. She uses the same chassis and basic parts as Sharan, making them have a "sister"-like relationship. After completion, she was used in various tests, and eventually became the basis for the Seria series. After her use was completed, a destructive test was supposed to be conducted on her under the guise of a durability experiment, but she was eventually sold to Dr. Izumi. She was given pseudo-human memories and lived a happy life as Izumi Hinako, but after Dr. Izumi was killed by the Executive Destruction Federation, she was unable to receive regular maintenance and gradually began to question her true body. In terms of performance, she has the excess capacity unique to a prototype and is highly capable. (Appears in “Ausencia Memoria”)

[Text to the left of the purple and silver android in the bottom right]

Sharan

A high-combat-capability female-type prototype android developed by Dr. Kamikaze [TN: also called “Jinpu” in the movie] during the Evaroid development period. Sharing many components with Shion, she is considered her "sister." (However, since Sharan was completed three months earlier, she is regarded as the elder sister.) Following various performance evaluations, Shion was chosen as the production model for mass manufacturing, and Sharan was initially scheduled for dismantling. However, under the pretext of using her for additional combat function development, she was handed over to Dr. Kamikaze. Dr. Kamikaze eventually defected and became a key figure in the radical anti-robot organization the Executive Destruction Federation. Yet, for some reason, he treated Sharan as his own daughter and cherished her. After Kamikaze’s death, Sharan, despite being a robot herself, chose to carry on her "father’s" will and embarked on a path of robot destruction, plagued by the contradictions of her own existence. (Featured in: Auscensia Memoria)

Ausencia Memoria (2003)

During the early days of Evaroid development, two prototype androids were manufactured using the same chassis. After their trial period ended, they were handed over to their respective developers. Hinako, later known as Shion, was implanted with artificial human memories and raised as Dr. Izumi’s daughter. Meanwhile, Sharan underwent further enhancements and modifications under Dr. Kamikaze [TN: also called “Jinpu” in the movie]. With Kamikaze’s defection and the formation of the Executive Destruction Federation, the two sister units found themselves on opposing sides, bound by a relentless fate. Shion is shocked and devastated upon learning she is an android. Sharan, an android who, despite her nature, inherited her father’s will and dedicated herself to destroying robots. As the ambitions of the Executive Destruction Federation and PSS intertwine, an even harsher fate awaits these two tormented androids.

[Top right image of Shion kneeling over Sharan]

Shion's appeal is her cuteness. She has a unique charm that male heroes never have. Her curves are also wonderfully sexy.

[Second from top image of Shion jumping]

This is the way girls often jump when they're happy. Male heroes never do it like this. Cute!

[Third from the top, group shot of Shion and Sharan in suits, the face actresses flanking the suit actresses]

The four of them lined up after transforming. From the left: Mio Misaki as Luna Kamikaze, Sharan, Shion, and Sayaka Kano as Hinako Izumi. The setting is that the girls flanking Sharan and Shion transform into them. With double the amount of usual heroines, there's plenty to see.

[Bottom right, series of four small images of Sharan doing an action sequence]

Sharan is blown away in an explosion scene! The heroine, who lives side by side with danger, straddles the line between life and death. How she’s blown away looks so cool!

[Below image of 3 people: Shion, Sayaka Kano [Shion’s face actress], and Sharan]

We had the two actresses, who were acting out their pre-transformation poses, wear the suits and take a commemorative photo. They look cool even without masks, and the bodysuits make them so sexy.
